Hi Gandalf2,

I found this a really interesting article.I already take an antidepressant for my profound OCD, and there is a study out for OCD sufferers to try psilocybin.

It is also excellent neuroscience too.

I imagine people who have Encephalitis and they may experience mental health problems it would be interesting to consider this new medication (if it doesn't counteract any other medication they might be taking) I would suggest they get a doctor's/specialists opinion first.
